@bender: Which screws are used for the bleed screw hole in the shocks?

When you've finished you'll find you have 4 or 5 of the little M2 X 6mm Socket head screws - they are the bleed screws.
Mine is now finished (chassis anyway) so a few more comments:
Chassis looks like it has plenty of room until you start fitting radio gear!
The suggested layout puts the rx on the servo side with the esc behind the motor - you'll need a bloody small esc to do that.
For best balance, both the rx and esc need to be on the servo side - trouble is you need to leave a space behind the servo to access the bottom motor screw. And then you run into space problems again!
The pinion must be put on the motor before it is installed in the car cause once it's in you don't have enough room to silde a pinion on
I had a little trouble with the steering hubs binding - it seems the holes in the hub in which the kingpins screw in aren't perfectly straight, and the kingpins themselves appear to be very slightly too long.
After a bit of work chamfering all the holes on the c-hub and leaving a 1mm gap between the kingpin and the steering hub, everything seemed ok.
Not too keen on the standard screws either, which I admit was a problem on my 415 and Evo5 too. The hex isn't cut very deep so it's quite easy to slip the driver in the screw head - at least with the countersunk screws. It doesnt help when you're also screwing into very hard plastic!
I ended up ruining my Hudy driver on the screws and stripped a couple - previous experience with these screws tells me that getting them out of the alloy parts is going to be a pain.
I think I'll need to get a better screw set.
Other than that everything went fine - car certainly looks the business - unfortunately for me it will be quite some time before mine gets run as I need to get my spare esc fixed before I can run it
